I was referring to the "Zelensky actually changed this" part of the message I was replying to. What do you think that means, if not that they forgot when he became president?

The only other explanation I can imagine is that maybe they meant to imply that Poroshenko was in Putin's pocket, but that seems unlikely (and is also i assume not what you inferred since you replied with a link from before his presidency).

That’s not what anyone is talking about here.

Look again at the comment i replied to and quoted in my initial comment which you subsequently replied to. Is there another way to interpret it which I'm missing?

That’s literally about his predecessor.

The link you posted is from January 2014, which is the time period of his predecessor's predecessor's predecessor.

Zelensky's presidency started in 2019. As late as 2018, he was still releasing comedy films which were being banned in Ukraine under his predecessor's anti-Russian cultural laws.

If you want to brush up on recent history, this video Ukraine: The Avoidable War is not bad.

transcriptScreenshot of github showing part of the commit message of this commit with this text:

Remove the backdoor found in 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 (CVE-2024-3094).

While the backdoor was inactive (and thus harmless) without inserting
a small trigger code into the build system when the source package was
created, it's good to remove this anyway:

  - The executable payloads were embedded as binary blobs in
    the test files. This was a blatant violation of the
    Debian Free Software Guidelines.

  - On machines that see lots bots poking at the SSH port, the backdoor
    noticeably increased CPU load, resulting in degraded user experience
    and thus overwhelmingly negative user feedback.

  - The maintainer who added the backdoor has disappeared.

  - Backdoors are bad for security.

This reverts the following without making any other changes:

The sentence "This was a blatant violation of the Debian Free Software Guidelines" is highlighted.

Below the github screenshot is a frame of the 1998 film The Big Lebowski with the meme caption "What, are you a fucking park ranger now?" from the scene where that line was spoken.

(for achievers who aren't following one of the most exciting computer security events in recent history, here is the context)

image transcript"I sleep" meme format, with top text "israel uses U.S. weapons to kill over 31k, wound 75k, and displace 1.9M" next to a picture of Shaquille O'Neal asleep with the caption "i sleep", and bottom text "ukraine uses U.S. weapons to strike russian energy infrastructure, raising oil prices" next to the same image of Shaq but now solarized and with glowing eyes and the caption "real shit".

Beneath the meme is a screenshot of the first two paragraphs of this reuters article, which are:

March 22 (Reuters) - The United States has urged Ukraine to halt strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, warning that drone strikes risk provoking retaliation and driving up global oil prices, the Financial Times reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The attacks helped boost oil prices that have risen nearly 4% so far since March 12, when Ukraine first started targeting Russia's energy infrastructure. A further rally in gasoline prices in the United States would weaken President Joe Biden ratings and undermine his re-election chances.

the words "driving up global oil prices" are highlighted.
